After eating the exquisite breakfast provided by the kitchen of Jufulou, Lou Yuzhu and Lou Chengyi got up and found the mansion in the east of the town. Looking at the exquisite gate courtyard and the imposing wall, Lou Chengyi was so nervous that he couldn't even speak.

Fortunately, Lou Yuzhu didn't expect Lou Chengyi to suddenly take responsibility, squinted slightly, and stepped forward and knocked on the door. The doorman opened, and Lou Yuzhu made her intention clear and stuffed a red seal. "Trouble Uncle to help spread the word, if the young master is gone, we will also accept your affection." In the red envelope is thirty-eight dollars, which will not be so much that people can't see it, and it won't be so little that people don't want to move.

The porter hesitated and took the red seal inside, and a voice came from the door after half a quarter of an hour, Lou Yuzhu's eyes lit up, and she took a step back and looked at the crimson door side by side with Lou Chengyi.

Two heavy doors opened, Zhou Cheng stepped out, his eyes turned around Lou Yuzhu, then looked at Lou Chengyi, his eyes turned back to Lou Yuzhu, and then hooked his lips and smiled. "Come with me."

Lou Yuzhu gave the nervous Lou Chengyi a reassuring look, and raised his heels. The seven-fold corridor, the towering rockery and the flowing water and the colorful flowers and green vegetation can be seen everywhere, and it is quite dizzying to look at it, but unfortunately these are pediatrics for Lou Yuzhu, who has changed the core!

Zhou Cheng led the two to the flower hall and said to the two: "You sit down first, and the young master will come immediately." ”

Lou Yuzhu nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Zhou." ”

The three words 'Brother Zhou' made Zhou Cheng raise his eyebrows, and then went to find Pei Guanying. The servant brought fragrant tea, and before the temperature cooled, Pei Guanying arrived, and sat down in the first place, and then looked at the father and son. After looking at Pei Guanying, he knew what Zhou Cheng was talking about, but the adult who was supposed to be calm was nervous and sweating, but the little brother who should be nervous was smiling and not surprised.

Lou Yuzhu got up to introduce, Lou Chengyi stammered when he stood and spoke, Pei Guanying asked the calm Lou Yuzhu directly: "You said you came to repay the favor?" ”

Lou Chengyi's nervous face was sweating, and Lou Yuzhu took over the conversation: "More than a month ago, my father had a fetal gas and almost lost two lives, it was the young master who gave me twenty taels of silver to save my life, and if the young master didn't lend a helping hand that day, the consequences were unimaginable." Today, I came to take my father to thank the young master for his great kindness, and secondly, I also wanted to reply to the young master, my father was cured after the doctor of Renshan Medicine Hall, and the younger brother in his belly was saved. I dare not forget the grace of saving my life, and I will definitely bring him to kowtow to the young master when my younger brother is born in the future. ”

Pei Guanying thought about it, there was indeed such a thing, and at that time, he also gave up the money because of compassion, to be honest, he didn't feel at ease with that money, let alone that someone would come to the door. Looking at Lou Yuzhu, a hint of interest flashed with his eyes: "Have you ever read?" ”

Lou Yuzhu said modestly: "I am fortunate to have read a few words." ”

"Who did you learn from?"

"I learned it from my eldest brother and second brother. My eldest brother's name is Lou Hua, and my second brother's name is Lou Ming, I should have come today, but I can't leave for the time being because of the work at home. "I don't have the luxury of expecting to be able to get online in one day, but once it is raw and twice cooked, it can always be done by brushing it a few more times." Knowing the grace, our family can't take out any valuable things for the time being, only the big red crayfish caught by ourselves is still fresh, I hope the young master will not dislike it. ”

Pei Guanying blinked, and Zhou Cheng next to him asked, "Did you send the big red crayfish in Jufulou?" ”

"Yes before, and now there is my grandfather's family to send it. Because there are too many shipments, our family is just separated from my father, and I am really too busy. ”

Pei Guanying groaned: "There is no need for this, I didn't think about the picture newspaper when I gave up the money that day,"

"The young master's benevolence and benevolence do not want to reciprocate, the young master's character is noble, but for us, it is a great kindness that concerns the lives of our loved ones, and we can't forget it in this life and this life."

The twenty taels of silver that I didn't care about made people so grateful, to be honest, Pei Guanying was a little flattered, and for a while I couldn't resist the feeling of not knowing how to deal with it.

Lou Yuzhu looked at it, and led Lou Chengyi to get up and say goodbye.

Zhou Cheng took the initiative and said, "Young Master, I'll send them off." ”

Pei Guanying nodded reservedly.

Led the people back from the original way, Zhou Cheng glanced at the father and son and said: "The big red crayfish in Jufulou sells for forty-eight wen a catty, and I am afraid that there are hundreds of catties every day, even if it is supplied at the market price of sixteen wen, the profit earned in a day is not a small amount, but how can you find grandma's house and not grandpa?" I remember you said you had two uncles, right? ”

"It's a shame to say," Lou Yuzhu glanced at Lou Chengyi, and then said embarrassedly: "It can be said that it is ugly." Talking about picking two important things that have happened recently, and then Fu Linshu said it as it was on the day of the separation, and when he finished speaking, he also arrived at the door, Lou Yuzhu stopped and smiled at Zhou Cheng: "Brother Zhou will send it here." ”

Zhou Cheng nodded, watched the father and son leave, turned around and went back to the study to relayed the matter to Pei Guanying as it was.

Pei Guanying was surprised when he heard it: "I thought that such eccentric things only existed in the wealthy mansions and other concubines, and I didn't want a small peasant family to have such cruel disputes." ”

The big housekeeper waiting next to him said earnestly: "As long as there are interests, whether it is a wealthy mansion or a small farm yard, there will be fights, the difference is only in the number of people involved." ”

Hearing this, Pei Guanying's face sank into two points, obviously remembering himself. He is the grandson of a waiting Jingyanghou, and his father is a member of the third rank of the dynasty, but what is the result? Haven't you been persecuted by your relatives and have to avoid it to think about this big town? If it weren't for his father slapping him to make him sober up at that time, otherwise he would probably turn the whole Houfu upside down, and he would have to ask his good second uncle and good brother to understand why he had bad intentions and impure intentions!

Zhou Cheng's eyes turned around on the faces of the big housekeeper and Pei Guanying, and said: "The interesting thing about the Lou family is that the second room of this big house is obviously selfish, but the third room is honest and honest. ”

The big housekeeper touched his beard and looked at Zhou Cheng funny: "Cheng boy is very optimistic about the third room?" The third room is white, don't forget that the big room has a showman, and there is a junior who is out of the blue. "The big housekeeper's surname is Hu, when he was young, he was the eldest companion of Pei Guanying's father, and then he became a housekeeper, as a loyal henchman, of course he is no stranger to the little guy next to the little master.

"I am indeed optimistic about the third room, and I dare not say anything about the future, and the character is reassuring." No longer caring about Steward Hu's jokes, Zhou Cheng said to Pei Guanying: "I'm afraid that the young master will have to stay in Huya Town for a while, and it is better to make friends with officials and rich families than to make friends with these reassuring Zhuang families, one is worry-free, and the other is not afraid of people chewing the root of the tongue when going back." ”

Pei Guanying thought for a moment and shook his head: "Let's talk about it later, I don't want to make friends with anyone now." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Cheng and Steward Hu looked at each other and had no choice but to give up. After all, they are just servants, who can come up with ideas, see ideas, and plans, but they still have to be masters to get ideas.

Coming out of the study, Steward Hu looked at the secretary with a worried look in his eyes. "I hope the young master can figure it out as soon as possible, and the master is doing this for the good of the young master."

"The young master knows it in his heart, but he can't accept it all at once." The old man is his own father, but he slapped him in front of his second uncle and his cousins; The second uncle is a relative, but he persecuted his brother on charges of disrespect; Hou Ye is his own grandfather, but he likes to accuse him harshly, this sudden change can't even be accepted by people with a firm heart, let alone Pei Guanying, who was born superior to others and was raised by a baby.

"I hope so." Steward Hu sighed, looked at Zhou Cheng and hesitated: "You wanted to redeem the sale of wedges before, I think you can postpone it a little?" Of course, it's not accurate, but now the young master is in a bad mood and has a deep relationship with you, if you leave at this time, it is estimated that the young master will feel even more uncomfortable. ”

"Don't worry, Steward Hu, I plan to do the same. Since I was a child, I have been serving by the young master's side, and I am not thin, to say a disrespectful word, I am a relative of the young master, and I am not feeling good when he is in a bad mood now, so I will wait for the young master to be in a better mood. ”

Hearing Zhou Cheng say this, Steward Hu was also relieved.

When he returned home, Lou Yuzhu told him about the process of coming to thank him, and Lou Chengyi hesitated with an uneasy face: "Actually, we can add interest money to repay them." Seeing that no one objected, Lou Chengyi plucked up the courage and said: "As long as you sell the big red crayfish for ten days, you can get it together, and when the time comes, we won't owe Young Master Pei the money." ”

Hearing this, Lou Yuzhu raised her eyebrows and asked Lou Hua: "What do you think of the eldest brother?" ”

Lou Hua thought for a moment: "Will this annoy Young Master Pei?" After all, he is the money he gave up, will we make him think that we look down on him? ”

Lou Chengyi was anxious: "Twenty taels is not a small amount, I couldn't afford to pay it back if I didn't have money before, but now that I have money, doesn't it make people poke the backbone?" ”

"For us, twenty taels is a lot of money, but for Young Master Pei, twenty taels is just a drop in the bucket, and it's not worth mentioning. Dad," Lou Yuzhu looked at Lou Chengyi: "Young Master Pei is from Shangjing, and his vision of things is different from ours, so in terms of today's attitude, is he a person who cares about the twenty taels of silver?" It was a piece of his kindness to help me who I had never met that day, which means that he has a good heart and a perfect character, which is priceless. Priceless character, but we take twenty taels of silver to measure, this is not a good intention, but a slap in the face of Young Master Pei! When it was rumored, outsiders also said that Young Master Pei was stingy and careful, but didn't he ruin his reputation? "Others can't knock on the door if they want to climb the relationship, but he has a ready-made one but doesn't need to be stupid to abandon it?

Thinking of not paying back such a large sum of money, Lou Chengyi's heart was like a cat scratching.

"I know that my father thinks that it is natural to repay debts, but this is also about conditions, firstly, Young Master Pei no longer cares about this money, and secondly, this is not borrowing but giving, what we owe is not money and debts but human debts, which is not something that can be measured by cold money. The current situation of our family can't help much, but in the future, the eldest brother and the second brother will be successful in the school, and they will always be able to pay back more or less. ”

Lou Hua's heart jumped hard.

Lou Yuzhu smiled: "Big brother, don't sue sù, I haven't thought about it." ”

"I—I really didn't think about it." Saying that, Lou Hua touched the back of his head, and a rare smile appeared on his always calm and old face.

His eyes swept over Lou Chengyi, who was excitedly like he was going to school, and Fu Linshu, whose eyes were red, and then smiled at Zhang Dazhu, who was listening: "There is no way to miss the time this year, and the eldest brother and the second brother will be able to go to the town to study in the spring next year." ”

"To town?" Lou Chengyi's eyes widened: "Don't you go to Chenjia Village next door?" ”

Lou Yuzhu shook his head: "The eldest brother and the second brother have already delayed a lot of time, isn't it a waste of time to go to Chenjia Village to learn from scratch?" I've thought about it.,The eldest brother and the second brother know the words.,The difference is the familiarity of writing and the article.,There are still more than half a year in the horizontal and vertical.,Specializing in practicing words and articles.,Next year, the spring should be able to catch up with the progress.。 Saying that, Chong Lou Hua said: "Time is very tight, I'm afraid the eldest brother and second brother will be tired." ”

"It's okay, I can stand it!" Things that were unimaginable before can now be realized, what is it to suffer a little hardship?

"It's good if the eldest brother has confidence." Have confidence and motivation, and make up for the shortcomings with hard work. "Uncle," Lou Yuzhu said to Zhang Dazhu, who was listening: "In the afternoon, I have to trouble my uncle to go back and bring my second brother back, and by the way, I will take some articles made by the two cousins, and the uncle will tell my grandfather, let my grandfather tell the two cousins to concentrate on their studies, and Ming'er Kaichun will go to the town to study at Yishan Academy with my eldest brother and second brother." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Dazhu's excited hands trembled, and he asked urgently: "Do you want to protect people when you enter Yishan Academy?" Does Brother Yu have a way to get four guarantees? "Yishan Academy is not as famous as Lushan Academy, but it is also a town academy, and the teacher conditions are much better than Chenjiacun! The Zhang family just suffers from having no connections, otherwise Zhang Heng and Zhang Yuan should have gone to the town instead of taking a big class in Chenjia Village.

"I have already told Shopkeeper Jiao and Shopkeeper Zhai about the guarantee, and they promised to guarantee us. You can only enter the school after the spring exam next year. "He doesn't do anything he is not sure of, since he must have asked beforehand before he spoke.

"Then I'll go back now!"

Zhang Dazhu was exactly the same as Xu Se, and Lou Yuzhu hurriedly pulled people back with tears and laughter: "My good uncle, it's almost lunch now, do you still have anything to eat when you go back to the house now?" Bao Tie won't run on long legs, so you can have lunch with peace of mind! ”

Unable to get out of his body, Zhang Dazhu had to stay for lunch, but he pretended to be in his heart and felt that even the meat was not fragrant, so he patiently finished the meal in a few bites, and got up to leave. Lou Yuzhu understood Zhang Dazhu's psychology of being concerned about his son's future, and put the prepared ten shrimp nets and two catties of meat and one catty of dried nuts in Lou Zi and handed them to Zhang Dazhu.

Zhang Dazhu hurriedly waved his hand, but he remembered that his father said that he would no longer accept things and only order sixty shrimp nets, and he was afraid that he would have to have a good training when he went back after collecting things.

Lou Yuzhu was angry and stuffed Lou Zi into his hand: "Uncle just tell grandpa when he goes back, if he dares to send things back, I won't call him again when I enter the door in the future!" I don't accept the things sent by my grandfather! ”

This time Zhang Dazhu couldn't cry or laugh. "Brother Yu'er, just open your mouth and say, it's your uncle and me who will be scolded when you go back!"

"Doesn't my uncle often say that he has thick skin and rough flesh? was scolded by my grandfather for two sentences, and it didn't hurt. ”

When Fu Linshu heard this, he came over and slapped Lou Yuzhu on the back of the head, and scolded: "It's not big, it's not small!" After filming, he said to Zhang Dazhu: "Big brother just tell my father that it's my idea when I go back." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Dazhu had no choice but to touch his head and carry things on his back. After a long time of mental preparation, he thought that he would be scolded severely, and he didn't want to relay Fu Linshu's words, so Old Man Zhang forcibly took back the scolding that came to his throat, and then his eyes were red and he hid in the house.

Zhang Dazhu was stunned at that time, and looked at his father blankly.

Xu Se's eyes were also red, and he glared at his eldest son embarrassedly and scolded: "What are you doing in a daze?" Don't put your stuff in the kitchen yet? ”

"Ahh Why don't you scold the good ones? What did Brother Lynn mean by that?

In fact, the meaning is very simple, but Fu Linshu is grateful.
